Those Amazing TV Adverts and Trailers!

I just couldn’t resist including this one...

I think this was the best episode from this series...

Holly Pryce (Kimberley Nixon) has a pretty unremarkable life, until she makes a devastating discovery which leads to her creating a secret life that gives her more than she bargained for.

BBC Three's Normal People: Official Full Length Trailer.

(Avanti West Coast Trains Rollerskating Tortoise advert is below.)

Rollerskating Tortoise - Aventi West Coast Trains Advert.
(Avanti West Coast - Feel Good Travel.)

Possibly the best advert ever. A rollerskating tortoise promoting Aventi West Coast trains in 2022,
but some people mistakenly think it’s a turtle!!

Music: “Badala Zamana” by Chaba Zohra. Available on iTunes; and music and advert on Youtube.
In Punjabi the title = changing times. She also sings 'Simran' which means to remember or reminisce. So guessing she's singing about times are changing but remembering the past. Whoever chose this song for the roller skating turtle has very good taste.

Do you know how old this tune is? I did some research and was amazed at what I found out....

Habibi Funk // حبيبي فنك : Chabba Zohra - Badala Zamana (Algeria, late 1970s, sung in Chaoui)
117,322 views since Jun 4, 2021 to August 2026.

Chabba Zohra (Dihya) today: --- Chabba Zohra was born in the village of Taghit in Algeria in 1950. When she was 8 years old her family moved to France. Eventually she started playing guitar and singing and eventually won a talent competition that allowed her to record “Badala Zamana” a classic of Chaoui disco. Zohra’s 1970s excursion into the genre was short lived though, soured by a bad experiences with the french music industry and soon after the release of the single she moved from France back to Algeria and changed her artist name to Dihya. With the change in name also came a change in the direction of her work which was now much more embedded into being a tireless activist and advocate for the rights of the amazigh people. An activism that would eventually get her banned from Algeria and her music being forbidden to be distributed and played on radio. This didn’t keep Dihya and her husband, the producer and poet Messaoud Nedjahi from standing up for their convictions and beliefs though and music was just one of the lanes they used to spread it. “Ekker d! Ekker d!” was her first full time album and dedicated to her Chaoui heritage, calls for women’s rights and a testament of her proudness of her Amazigh identity. In 2014 she was allowed to visit her home country again and she was greeted and welcomed by large crowds eager to see their artist back on Algerian soil.
